Attention Shellfish Dealers:
RIDEM has implemented a new commercial licensing system Rhode Island Outdoors (RIO) for issuance of all commercial fishing licenses. With the new system, commercial licenses are no longer printed with raised letters, and thus the license will not work in a carbon copy machine, and the information required on the RIDOH shellfish harvester bag tag will therefore now have to be manually transcribed to the bag tag (e.g., written or typed) to meet the requirement.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Please call the Division of marine Fisheries at 423-1923 with any questions.
Thank you.
